So it’s only 2 more sleeps until I go on a girly break away to Barcelona with my two best friends! We are catching a flight from Gatwick on Saturday morning and heading straight to the city for a long weekend of sun, sea, relaxation and lots of tapas and cocktails!

We are staying in the 2 star Hotel Meson Castilla which I was a little dubious about as I normally only stay in hotels that are rated 3stars plus (that’s just me being snobby!!) but we were offered this deal through Thomas Cook and, after looking at the brilliant reviews on Trip Advisor, we decided to bite the bullet and make the booking!

I will be posting a review of my holiday on Trip Advisor and my blog as well, so be sure to keep an eye out for it when I return next week!

In the meantime if anyone has any adivce on good restuarants/bars in Barca I would love to hear your recommendations! We are staying just round the corner from Las Ramblas so will hopefully be in the centre of all the action!
